Shallow Hal - A cocky Jack Black is given the ability to see people’s inner beauty, rendering Gwyneth Paltrow in an awkward fat suit into an awkward Gwyneth Paltrow.
2001: A Space Odyssey - Astronaut Dave Bowman, sole survivor of a secret mission to Jupiter, deactivates the ship’s homicidal onboard computer and then is eaten by aliens and reborn as a giant, freaky space-baby.
Phone Booth - A cocky Colin Farrell is held hostage by a madman with a rifle when he picks up a ringing telephone in the last phone booth left in Manhattan. Dumbass.







On a secret mission to Jupiter to trace a signal sent from a statue of Tony Robbins uncovered on the moon, cocky astronaut Colin Farrell (in an awkward fat suit) is the sole survivor after the ship’s computer goes postal.
Narrowly escaping with his life and a spacepod, he stumbles on an even bigger statue of Tony Robbins in orbit. His last message as the mouth opens and sucks him through a wormhole is “My god, it’s really Gwyneth Paltrow!” and soon finds himself in a painstakingly recreated convention center, where a strange race of motivational speakers is holding a galaxy-wide pep talk.
Now blessed with the ability to see their true selves, he realizes they are a race of beauty-queen she-beasts bent on Galactic Domination, and only he can see the truth! However, the ship’s computer has followed him, and as he sits trapped in the pod, a game of cat & mouse ensues as he must expose the aliens for their true nature, and convince Forrest Whitaker’s character from Battlefield Earth that he’s not the guy taking out space-babies with a laser gun.
